Except it’s not actually GPS, Airtags do not have a GPS receiver. They are strictly Bluetooth devices which connect to whatever compatible device they can find and then the location is updated via that device’s location services. The actual Airtag is not a very smart device at all which is also why they are as cheap as they are.

How the GPS works is when the AirTag is near somebody who has an iPhone, The identification number of the tag goes through that iPhone and up into the cloud, so that if you’re using find my iPhone, you can see the location where the AirTag was last near an iPhone. If the AirTag is not near an iPhone, you won’t get this information. Or, if it is near an iPhone, and then moves away from the iPhone, then you would get only the location of where it was when it was near the iPhone, and not its current location.

As far as the gps, do you think it is okay to find this way? Thank you.

Hi Jim, I have used them in my luggage and also put one inside my 12 string guitar in case I leave it somewhere or someone decides to steel it. They are very easy to set up and work well.

Greetings, I’ve never used or worked with Apple Air Tags before, but I was thinking of getting a few, as I’m traveling and thought it would be great to put on my luggage and such. First, is this a good use for them? Second, for those who have used them, are they worth while and easy to use? Thanks much.
